[INFO/WEB] Landmarks v0.2 - with DynMap addon [953]

Landmarks
Version: v0.2
Tested with Craftbukkit 953/Dynmap 0.19.1

​

This plugin lets you define landmarks that will be saved into a JSON file, similar to the old MapMarkers for hMod. I have included a DynMap component that shows those landmarks as little icons on the map.

​

If you like this, why not donate a few bucks? But don't worry, this plugin will always be free.​

Features:

• Set and delete landmarks
• Display them on a DynMap
• Full support for multiple worlds

Download Landmarks 0.2 (Jar only, dynmap component only)
Source Code
Older versions: 0.1.1, 0.1

Commands
/landmark add <name>

Set a new landmark to your current position. Name may contain spaces.​

/landmark modify <name>

Set update an existing landmark to your current position. Name may contain spaces.​

/landmark set <name>

Shortcut for add or modify depending if there already is a landmark with this name. Name may contain spaces.​

/landmark delete|del|remove <name>

Remove an existing landmark. Name may contain spaces.​

Permissions
(All permissions include the rights to use the matching aliases and shortcuts such as /landmark set)
landmarks.add

The player may use /landmark add​

landmarks.modify.own

The player may use /landmark modify on his own markers​

landmarks.modify.all

The player may use /landmark modify on all markers​

landmarks.remove.own

The player may use /landmark remove on his own markers​

landmarks.remove.all

The player may use /landmark remove on all markers​

Planned:

• List existing landmarks
• Show information like creator and time (already included in JSON file)
• Think about priorities or grouping
• Different icons? Probably larger icons for higher zoom levels.
• Save display settings in cookies

Setup:

1. Just unpack the contents of the zip file into your bukkit folder.
2. If you want to use the DynMap component:
   1. Go to plugins/Landmarks/config.yml and set markersfile to ../dynmap/web/markers.json
   2. If you have copied your dynmap/web folder to your Apache folder (as described in DynMap's setup instructions), use that path instead or use a symlink
   3. Go to plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt, find "components:" and add the following below it:
      
      Code:

        - class: org.dynmap.ClientComponent
          type: landmarks

   4. Optional: to display the settings panel, add the following just above what you added in the last step:
      
      Code:

        - class: org.dynmap.ClientComponent
          type: settings

There's also a more detailed howto for Linux users below. Thanks, paccer!

Changelog
Version 0.2

• Permissions support
• New settings panel where people can select if they want to see the markers and marker texts (optional). See setup instructions step 2.4
• Markers are now automatically removed from dynmap without reloading the page
• New commands add and modify (they do basically the same as set, but you won't accidentally update an existing marker when you want to add a new one or the other way round)
• The default config now contains the correct markersfile path for dynmap

Version 0.1.1

• Included config.yml and removed markers.json (will be created automatically)
• Added a 2 pixel semi-transparent white border around the landmark icons
• No changes to the jar file itself!

 

This plugin looks amazing! I got really excited when I saw it. But I can't get it to work on my map.
Running RB670, DynMap 0.15, and I downloaded the 0.1.1 fixed archive. Followed all the instructions in the OP. I can create landmarks in game, and they show up in markers.json. But they don't show up on my map
I'm using Dynmaps internal web server, pointed to my IIS web folder. Dynmaps web folder is located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dynmap, and this is where I copied the three folders, and set the markers.json location to in the config.

 

Maybe in a later version.

It should be a sub-node of 'web:'. Just copy the section from paccer's tutorial and make sure it's correctly indented (2 spaces for 'components:', 4 spaces for all lines beginning with '-', 6 spaces for the others)

My plugin outputs the markers in JSON format which is quite easy to parse. So yes, with a little work, you could use any renderer.

Yes, that's possible. I'll add that in the next version.

Try this.

Both suggestions are on my internal todo list.

Might be a problem with the backslashes in Windows-style paths. Try C:/inetpub/wwwroot/dynmap or C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\dynmap

 

It would be nice to be able to scale up/down the size of the landmark icons or set them to always display the text. Tried replacing the existing with one to use the entire 16x16 size but it gets cut off on the right side.

 

To use a 16x16 image, make sure you have a 16x16 landmark.png in the images folder, and then edit the \web\css\landmarks.css file:

Code:

.dynmap .landmarkMarker {
    background-image: url(../images/landmark.png);
    width: 14px;  /* <-- change this */
    height: 14px;  /* <-- change this */

    ...

 

hm i have now install the fix, but the landmarks are only shown as "mouse over" and now icon.

Is there a way to show them permanently?

 

That bit of it works fine. I can see it creating the markers.json file in the right place.
Since I'm running under IIS7, I have to change the line in config.js in the dynmap web folder from "up/" to "up.aspx?path=". If I leave it as "up/" and access my map through port 8123, I can see the landmarks. But when I change it to "up.aspx?path=" and then access the map through [web address]/dynmap I can't see them.

 

Suggestion:
Add a menu point "Landmarks" to the slidermenu of DynMap to jump to Landmarks like u can jump to players =)

Change the content Landmarks.css in the Dynmap/web/css folder to this:

Code:

.dynmap .landmarkMarker {
    background-image: url(../images/landmark.png);
    width: 14px;
    height: 14px;
    padding: 0px;
    margin-top: -7px;
    margin-left: -7px;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 100;
}

.dynmap .landmarkMarker .landmarkName {
    display: block;
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
    border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    padding: 2px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    left: 10px;
}

just used that for my own server

great it works!

thank you!

np the OP should add an option to show them permanently to his plugin but as long as its just CSS I can do it myself

 

I'm upset mine doesn't work! It just seems to have had a fallout with IIS7

EDIT: Holy moo moo. I've got it working Turns out IIS didn't know how to serve json files. So I just added .json to the MIME types, and now it works brilliantly. I love this plugin!
Going to go and fill my map with landmarks now!

 

Not that there was anything wrong with your little houses, but I changed up the icon and the .css so I could use little flags I made. The result is markers that are placed at the exact point that you are standing. You can see them here zoomed all the way out and all the way in. You can check it out on my live map at http://server.kitecraft.net:8600 and if you're interested in the files, you can grab the zip here... http://kitecraft.net/files/landmarks.zip Thanks for the great plugin. One suggestion, could you make it ops only until you add permissions? I don't want my map covered in random markers.

 

Oh wow, I like the flags. They stand out really well on my map now. Thanks!

 

suggest: make it possible to set the size of the houses. i would be happy if i can choose a set of houseicons that are bigger than now, like KhiloWhiskey did with his flags.

and created landmarks will only be shown on dynmap after server restart? is there a possibility to make it instantly showing, i.e. with a command "/landmark reload"?

 

They show right when you add them. If link is right, you will see the mark as soon as you refresh the map. I should note that you can resize my flag or the house with the .CSS file, but you'll need to tweak it a bit to be sure that it lands right where you're standing when you use the command.

 

The markers.json is saved instantly and dynmap reloads them whenever the map data itself updates which is whenever you zoom, scroll or just wait a few seconds.

 

my writing console
04:08 10:00:35 INFO server-1: [Server] INFO [Landmarks] Loading / home / multicraft / servers / MedaCraft / plugins / Landmarks / markers.json
04:08 10:00:35 INFO server-1: [Server] INFO [Landmarks] Successfully loaded 1 markers.
04:08 10:00:35 INFO server-1: [Server] INFO [Landmarks] Landmarks 0.1 enabled.
but on my page http://88.67.207.191:8123/ it showed me the marks not

 

You haven't set the location of markers.json to the correct place for it to work with DynMap. You need to follow the instructions in the OP.
Specifically "1. Go to plugins/Landmarks/config.yml and set markersfile to ../dynmap/web/markers.json"
and "3. Go to plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt, find "components:" and add a line with " - type: landmarks" below it. There should be other similar lines around."
Then reload your server.

 

it does not work still might have somebody who has it geschft create a youtube tutorial

 

Are you sure your config.yml is correct? I've looked at your server and markers.json doesn't show up at all.

P.S.: Nur der Grammatik nach geraten: dir wäre eine Deutsche Anleitung lieber?

 

Litte post in german as name and grammer of ToastHelmi appeal quite familiar to me and I think he might understand it better this way

Sollt da nicht eher Loading / home / multicraft / servers / MedaCraft / plugins / dynamp / web / markers.json stehen?
Musst also wahrscheinlich noch die config.yml, wie im ersten Post beschrieben, bearbeiten - also "markers.json" austauschen zu "../dynmap/web/markers.json", dann sollte es gehen.

 

Don't forget to edit DynMap's config file aswell!

 

true forgot that one

 

dynmap conig:
components:
- type: landmarks
- type: chat
- type: chatballoon
focuschatballoons: false
- type: chatbox
showplayerfaces: true
messagettl: 5
- type: playermarkers
showplayerfaces: true
#- type: digitalclock
- type: timeofdayclock
showdigitalclock: true
landmarks cofig:
markersfile: /dynmap/web/markers.json

and it doesent work

 

it has to be "markersfile: ../dynmap/web/markers.json", the POINTS are important

 

Hey there:
I wrote a python script to import the data from Interesting Places to this plugin. Places the python file in the same folder as places.txt, run it, and it'll generate a markers.json with all your places from Interesting Places in it.

It requires one command line argument: The owner of all the places (i.e. your in-game MC name).
So for example, I'd run it as:

Code:

interestimport.py Crazydog115

And that would assign all the landmarks to me.

Download:
http://crazydog.nfshost.com/interestimport.zip

Web-based version:
No download required. Simply copy the contents of places.txt into the textarea, and hit submit!
http://crazydog.nfshost.com/interestimport.php

You must stop the server before overwriting markers.json, or it will be overwritten when the server is stopped!

**
The only limitation I see is that if you have a world named 'xyz', or a wold with spaces in the name, you will have issues!

Your first link leads to an error 403

 

my bad. ill fix in about an hour

 

Btw: support for Permissions is done. I'll upload it as soon as some other stuff is done, too. If you need it earlier, compile the source

 

Fixed....it's now wrapped in a zip. Enjoy!

 

Can I see a full example of a dynmap config that is set to use this? I have no idea where components are located and a search for the word turns up nothing. So, I am lost.
